Regarding Arya not disgusing herself in KL. She hasn't been in KL for about 6 years and has aged and there are no photographs or TV news to worry about. In a city of million people she was unlikely to be noticed by anyone. Gendry was able in hide in KL in plain sight as well.

Greyworm also has a conversation with missandei in ep1 or 2 where they say they don't like the local people and don't feel welcome. (Can't remember the exact words)

This petition shit happened with the second star wars film as well.

I quite enjoyed most of that after not likeing last week's episode at all. I don't see anything out of character about Danerys massacring the city. She's always been after power and vengeance for her family. I never trusted her as a 'breaker of chains'. Struggling a little with the effect of dragonfire on stone walls but not signing the petition on the basis of that episode.

Davos pointed this out in an earlier episode as well.

I think it'd been hinting all season that Daenerys was going to turn ruthless eventually, though I myself thought it would have been limited to her eventually offing Jon Snow to ensure she gets the throne. I hadn't expected her to fully go postal like that 
Regarding Cersei, whereas I can sympathise with TV critics arguing that as one of the best villains of the entire series she might have deserved a more combative/ high profile demise, I still found her final moments perfectly credible. At the end of the day she wasn't an all-out, 100% evil archvillain like Ramsay, who had no humane qualities whatosever. Cersei had always shown deep emotions of love for her own children, and I can perfectly believe that as it became apparent that her unborn child, the only one of all her children who had not been killed, was also about to perish with her, anguish and despair overwhelmed her. It is a very tragic story for her in that respect, and I actually felt sorry.
Had not she been pregnant however, her final moments would have been completely out of character. Remember how calm and composed she was during an earlier siege of the city, and more than willing to take her own life to spare herself what would have awaited if the city had fallen.

I got really sick of the 'Cersei loves her children' trope. Everyone loves their children, that's not something you can hang a characterisation on. Also for someone who loved her children she seemed fine with the fact she had driven her son to suicide and was happy to jump onto his throne before his body was cold.
Cersei was never suited to the role of all-out villain IMO and I lost interest in her once she became an unrepentant mass murderer and started dressing up like a steampunk nazi.

Apparently Bush was an inspiration for her character.

I don't think it's true that everyone loves their children. Did Tywin love his children? Roose Bolton? Craster? Even outside of this GOT fantasy world, it's not hard to find people who don't. Obviously it's not the entirety of her characterisation but clearly the trauma of losing her children pushed Cersei to more heartless and vindictive behaviour.

I’m not looking at it from the angle that caring for her children made her okay-ish; it clearly it didn’t and she was still a thoroughly awful person. What I was suggesting is that she wasn’t emotionally dead and that her children was the one subject where she would have been emotionally vulnerable. In other words, her behaviour and state of sorrow in those final moments as she thought of her unborn child were perfectly compatible with her overall personality.

Hah brilliant.
Someone mentioned Why are the talking heads at the end of the show explaining story decisions so bland? I reckon they're petrified at the reaction of "fans". They've got fear in their eyes!

As an unrelated observation, it will be news to no one that Peter Dinklage is an extraordinary good actor. But the scene this week when he goes to free his brother, and then thanks him for his life and effectively says goodbye to him was a new high for me. When he was telling Jaime he was the only person who had never treated him like a monster I got a lump in my throat

Some of the acting has been incredible. Peter Dinklage, Lena Headey, Rory McCann and Gwendolyn Christie in particular.As an unrelated observation, it will be news to no one that Peter Dinklage is an extraordinary good actor.

If you download it from the Hbo screening there's 10 minutes at the end of every episode which is a bit like dvd extras the making of type of thing, I think with a writer and director, but I can't say for sure as i try not to watch it. No idea who else gets that section

I wouldn't include Gwendolyn Christie in that list.

and why not? She's marvellous, though her character has been badly let down by the writers

cannot think of a single scene that stands out acting wise to be worthy of high praise. yes, she was perfectly cast. But that is all.
